SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

TRIA—which established TRIP—was 

signed into law on November 26, 2002, 

following the attacks of September 11, 

2001, to address disruptions in the 

market for terrorism risk insurance, to 

help ensure the continued availability 

and affordability of commercial 

property and casualty insurance for 

terrorism risk, and to allow for the 

private markets to stabilize and build 

insurance capacity to absorb any future 

losses for terrorism events.1 TRIA 

requires insurers to ‘‘make available’’ 

terrorism risk insurance for commercial 

property and casualty losses resulting 

from certified acts of terrorism, and 

provides for shared public and private 

compensation for such insured losses. 

The Program has been reauthorized four 

times, most recently by the Terrorism 

Risk Insurance Program Reauthorization 

Act of 2019.2 The Secretary of the 

Treasury (Secretary) administers the 

Program, with assistance from the 

Federal Insurance Office (FIO).3
